What a bird, a pine tree and a 240-mile trek with UC Davis scientists reveal about climate change.

Scientists have spent the last five years observing sperm whale communication and behaviors using tags, buoys and drones. They’ve finally begun to learn how whales use calls for communication.

This Halloween, take a walk through the shadowy corners of research and discovery: where viruses hunt bacteria, dragonfish hide their teeth, seabirds spiral through the skies and telescopes scan the dark for alien light.

Climate change and habitat loss haunt the newly named trapdoor spider.

In just two decades, UC Merced has grown into a recognized leader in conducting academic research, developing young minds for career success and driving economic growth.

Surgeons had tried ice cubes, cold water and even chilled metal plates to cool the skin’s superficial layer before laser exposure, but none worked. Then a UC Irvine researcher had an idea.

UC Davis researchers will develop sensor systems that can act as a "smoke alarm" for indoor air contaminants such as allergens, viruses or mold spores.

The same cell product could potentially be used to treat multiple solid tumors like ovarian, pancreatic and lung cancers.

In a world first, a team of engineers, neuroscientists and neurosurgeons at UC Davis and UC Davis Health has demonstrated that brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, for translating brain signals into speech can also enable control of a computer cursor.

With a new imaging technique, UC San Francisco scientists discover an ecosystem that determines how eggs mature and ovaries age.

Long-term follow-up shows 95% success rate, no serious complications in largest ADA-SCID gene therapy study to date

These discoveries span decades and disciplines, but they all have one important thing in common: They’ve all relied on competitive funding from the federal government.
